There isn't any end goal. You basically avoid the little black balls. Crushing them with the blocks works the best. But each time you drop a block, the world gets smaller, and each time you hit one of the black balls, the world gets much bigger. I suppose the goal is survival."},{"author_name":"Toast","author_uid":"6788","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 9:56pm","epoch":1335217860,"text":"This is very odd.

I didn't really see any problem with dropping a bunch of boxes though cause the black balls run into them and it makes it pretty easy."},{"author_name":"KingKay","author_uid":"9322","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 2:55am","epoch":1335322200,"text":"I... have no idea what's going on. xD But besides that, it's entertaining and, interesting, to say the least."},{"author_name":"castor","author_uid":"11538","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 9:30pm","epoch":1335475500,"text":"Although my poor laptop had some problems running it, I think this is cool. I like the idea of protecting yourself with blocks.

I think with some more constraints on the player it could be really fun. I liked the color palette and the ambiance. The blocks looked really cool too. The fuzzy black edges sort of give an illusion of refractive glass blocks. Keep working on it!"},{"author_name":"Tom 7","author_uid":"1984","time":"May 6, 2012 @ 2:32pm","epoch":1336314420,"text":"Weeeeeeeird.
